Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
This year has been one for the books, honestly. As the year winds down I keep finding myself thinking over everything from beginning to end and I’m perplexed by it all. It was a year heavy with change and a ton of travel, too. I went to Cleveland 2x, Denver 2x, Philly (for the first time ever!), New York (for a business trip) and finally, Portland. I’ll be heading back home to Cleveland for ...
At the end of July I visited my brother in Denver, Colorado and although I’ve already got two guides on the magical place, I knew I had to do another one because honestly - it is one of my favorite places ever. Every time I visit, it gets better… and better… and I want to move there. So freaking badly. One day I’m sure but until now, I love my apartment in Chicago way too much to leave ...
It’s been about two years since I last did a guide to Chicago and since then so many places have emerged. I’ve found a new found love for discovering restaurants, coffee shops and grab and go spots in the city and love sharing them with you guys. I’ve wanted to do this for quite a few months now but I’m going to be putting together separate guides rather than one post alone. To start, I figured ...

At the beginning of March, I took a trip to Philadelphia to visit one of my best friends, Alexis. Plot twist is that it was literally our first time meeting as we became friends off of Instagram (naturally, would you expect ...
I’m so excited to share today’s post with you guys. I am such a sucker for a good matcha latte and I think it’s so important for my readers and followers to know the best spots (especially when traveling) to get one. So many coffee shops these days sneak sugar into pretty much every beverage they can which drives me up the wall and around the corner. Truly. That’s why I wanted to put together this ...
Hi, friends. It’s been a minute since I wrote a "Chickpea Travels" post but I'm inspired to do a HELLUVA lot more this year. I’ve been thinking about how I really miss writing travel guides for you. I love nothing more than when someone asks me my favorite spots in a city, especially my own. When I read travel guides or someone’s top recommendations in their home town, I want to know what they get ...
